On the NPR TED Radio Hour, Sunday 22nd March, Newstalk FM:

'Extrasensory':

This Sunday, TED speakers question whether we can experience the world more deeply by not only extending our senses, but going beyond them.

Artist Neil Harbisson was born completely color blind. But thanks to a permanent device attached to his head, he can now hear color, which allows him to experience an element that was once invisible.  

Psychiatrist and engineer Todd Kuiken is building a prosthetic arm that connects with the human nervous system, improving motion, control and even feeling.  

Speech scientist Rupal Patel creates customized synthetic voices that enable people who can't speak to communicate in a unique voice that embodies their personality.  

Sound expert Julian Treasure says we are losing our listening in a louder world. He shares ways to re-tune our ears for conscious listening, both to other people and the world around.
